The Sérénac forest

Beautiful and good
The autumn coloring of the foliage of the American red oak, with extraordinarily varied reds, greatly contributes to its ornamental appeal. Its leaves, large in surface, sharply lobed and remarkably matte, differ considerably from the attire of its European relatives. The tree excels in park decoration. Its aesthetic also delights forests equally. It did not arrive here by chance… Introduced in Europe at the beginning of the 18th century, it won over wealthy private parks before spreading to forests. Because its wood, with rapid growth, is of quality. The immigrant from eastern United States has well adapted. Once artificial, the stands now multiply by themselves.
